First Song

Anthem of Infinity Series, Book 1

De: Blaise Corvin, Outspan Foster, Blaise Corvin - foreword

Narrado por: Ramon De Ocampo

It has been two years since the Shift - when most technology stopped working, and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves. Among other guesses, predatory aliens seem as good as any other theory for what caused the Shift.

But for Noah, everything else takes second place to survival, sometimes even self-respect... or any sort of decency. Lawless, post-apocalypse America had forced Noah to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. However, despite hating himself, he doesn't have the strength or the courage to change.

He will get a lucky break in a big way, through a mysterious orb with otherworldly power.

In time, perhaps Noah will find another path. And if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story. Sometimes, another chance can be an opportunity for redemption.

It takes a surprising turn

I was genuinely surprised by this book. At first I expected an admittedly well written, but by-the-books post apocalyptic adventure. Boy was I wrong.. Well, not about it being well written anyway. Starting with an unlikable character, dragging him through bad situations, and exposing every character flaw was a unique way to start off the book compared to others in the genre.

It made me wonder who I'm supposed to root for honestly. The likeable mentor that singlehandedly cracked our protagonists shell open was a good touch. I ended up liking him just as much as the main character, which in turn, made me identify with him in a way.

The book then takes a drastic, and completely unexpected turn that changed this book from your typical post apocalyptic romp backdropped by a revenge motivator, into 20 year plan, headed by one of the most determined guys I've ever heard. I'd prefer not to say exactly what it is, but you'll know it when you hear it. If you've ever read "A gift of time" you'll get it. Trust me when I say, it does not detract from the story at all.

The sheer amount of effort our boy goes through is staggering. It's an interesting ride the whole way through. I suggest giving this book a chance.

Unreal yet oh so real!

OMG what a book! I enjoyed this book immensely! It made me cry and it gave me hope. At first I wanted to hate the MC for his cowardice but deep down I could not. I am not entirely certain how I would have responded give a similar circumstance. I think the real possibility of a similar situation improbable. Yet while I listened They made me believe it could. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Well done Mr. Corbin and Mr. Foster.

Wow!

This is one of the best books I have listened to since joining audible. I laughed and cried in a 10 minute span. I storyline and descriptions in this book held me captive until 3am just to finish it in a single sitting. I was not able to put it down! Please, you must continue this series!

Fun book despite how it starts

Stick with this book because it is actually a really great read with interesting characters who act the way you’d expect. No stereotypical idiots who stumble through every situation. It starts out with many plot devices I hate, but it actually utilized them well and isn’t one of those crushing despair stories that authors like to write now. Definitely one of my favorites!

Number two please

I really encourage anyone on the fence to go ahead a get this one. Push the confirm button, it’s worth it.

worth the credit and the slow start

make it through the first three hours and it's well worth it. Great book. the first three hours are a bit slow but it sets up the book and sets the tone for the drive the character has throughout the rest of the story

First song

This also takes a while before the litrpg elements come into play and that part is slow throughout. What it is slow in that regards somewhat makes up for the plot and story. 4.3 star

what a change

forewarning I did not like the beginning until the thing what happens to him not going to say it the rest of the book what's great I want more can't wait I will say this has some fucked-up things what happened in the story and the character is definitely in the beginning unlikable but once the changeover does happen in the book you realize this book has promise

One of the best gamelit stories out there

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this story. I found myself caring about what happened to the different characters. The story is original and turns the post-apocalyptic gamelit genre on its head.

Ramon De Ocampo did a great job narrating this. I think he was a good pick for this story.

This is one of Blaise Corvin's best works. Highly recommended.

Truely Amazing

The biggest problem with this book is who knows if a second one will come or when.

The authors claimed to have an unlikable character in the beginning of the story. They failed in that regard. The character isn't unlikable - - he's just realistic. I hardly ever write reviews but this book was just amazing with incredible amd believable characters.
